Lyrics:
I never dreamed the first time
would leave me hurting for more
I told myself the last time as I was walking out your door
I shake myself to reason but now I'm rendered unwound
I'm blinded by obsessions, thought I'd find you somehow

I can't call you my lover
I can't call you my friend
I can't call you my saving grace
Ya know, I think it's reached the end

You dosed me with your poisons
Infected you with my dreams
lost you in the darkness
and got messed up in all your crazy schemes
Your thinking I deceived you knowing all of the while
that nothing would change nor be rearranged now that the antidotes no longer your smile

I can't call you my lover
I can't call you my friend
I can't call you my saving grace
Ya know, I think it's reached the end

Never dreamed the first time
would leave me hurting for more
I told myself the last time, as I went walking, walking
as I went walking,
I'm walking, walking
as I went walking, walking,
I'm walking, walking,...

I can't call you my lover
I can't call you my friend
I can't call you my saving grace
I think it's reached the end
